Navigating life as a Christian isn’t easy. We try our best to live a life that glorifies God, honor our spouse or parents, raise our children, take care of those in need, serve in the church, work hard but sometimes it all feels like too much to handle. Some of us have past hurts, trauma, failures that continue to plague us and it can feel impossible to move forward in life.
I grew up in a Christian family and have been involved in Christian ministry my entire life. As an adult I was blessed to attend the top Christian Universities specializing in the integration of counseling and Christianity. With my life experience and clinical training, I would be honored to walk alongside of you as you journey through this life.
Life may be hard, but there is always hope. There is peace that passes understanding. Join us at Hope Counseling as we journey with you to rediscover hope.
